How OK are your liver function tests? If they are totally normal (<35U/L), you require only followup. If they are above twice the normal, you 'may' need antiviral drugs. The drugs you are presently using are only liver boosters and have no role in reducing the viral propagation. Serial follow up of liver tests and regular checkups by a gastroenterologist is all that you need at present.
